Version 3.2 (Last updated Nov 2016)
1 Our e-Learning Vision
Craigieburn Secondary College (the College) will be active in incorporating e-Learning strategies to engage and
empower all members of our school community, equipping them to become digitally literate, innovative, and
confident users and active and responsible members of a global community.
2 Introduction
Craigieburn Secondary College endeavours to create a learning environment where every student can achieve
their fullest potential. We aim to promote confident learners who are curious and creative who can solve
problems using a variety of tools. As part of this commitment, the college is beginning the integration of student
Netbook computers into the classrooms and the embedding of digital literacy and e-learning practices across all
key learning areas. It is envisaged that students at the College will become effective global learners in multiple real
and virtual arenas.
The College, in conjunction with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) aim to
provide a wealth of rich educational resources and tools, that when used effectively, will deliver very positive
teaching and learning outcomes. Each student is required to have a portable Netbook that will link them to their
teachers, learning communities, multimedia software and online tools & resources.
With the connected mobile device students will have enhanced communication opportunities with their teachers
and peers to seek feedback regarding learning opportunities and activities, participate in synchronous and
asynchronous learning and have anywhere, anytime access to documents, projects, revision tasks and evidence of
their learning. The access to information and communication technologies (ICT) will create expanded learning
opportunities that are more active and student centred.
DEECD recommends appropriate and safe use of their student allocated netbooks. This document aims to provide
information about the policies and guidelines that inform the proper use and care of the student netbooks. By
alerting parents and students to potential dangers, developing guidelines and providing advice and support, the
exposure of students to potential problems can be minimised.
3 Objectives
The objective of the College is to implement a range of innovations that explore and exploit the latest in
educational technology both in the classroom and at home, by allowing our families a variety of flexible device
options to suit their unique circumstances.
4 Personal Computing Options
To meet the above stated vision and objectives, the College has three available personal computing options, each
with their own strengths and weaknesses.
1. Purchase recommended device through the College’s commercial partner – JB Hi-Fi Commercial
(Education Division)
2. Co-contribution
3. Bring your own device (BYOD)
4.1 Purchase device through JB Hi-Fi
The College has entered in to a purchasing agreement with JB Hi-‐Fi. Devices can be purchased directly
though the JB Hi-Fi Online Portal, at a group discounted price and delivered straight to the College. To
connect to the College network, the device media access control (MAC) address must be provided to the ICT
technicians.

Version 3.2 (Last updated Nov 2016)
5.2 Expectations and Responsibilities of Parents/Guardians
Parents or guardians are required to take responsibility for conveying the importance of the policy guidelines in
this document and other school policies to their children. They are also required to monitor their child’s use of
the Netbook, especially at home, including access to media and information sources.
Parents are expected to report any damage, theft or loss of the School Allocated Netbook to the college as soon as
is practicable. Parents/Guardians should be aware that any damage, theft or loss to a School Allocated Netbook
would incur a cost (see Schedule 1).
5.3 Expectations and Responsibilities of Teaching Staff
School teaching staff will monitor appropriate use of the Netbooks in accessing curriculum information. They will
also provide guidance and instruction to students in the appropriate use of such resources.
This includes staff facilitating student access to information on their Netbooks in support of and to enrich the
curriculum while taking into account the varied instructional needs, learning styles, abilities and developmental
levels of students.
5.4 Expectations and Responsibilities of the College
The College commits to upholding the Usage Policy Guidelines and providing physical and financial resources to
enable safe, educationally relevant access to the Netbooks and relevant curriculum facilities for staff and students.
The school also has a responsibility to ratify information published on the Internet by students so that it meets
legal requirements and community standards in relation to copyright and safety.
6 Guideline for General Use of devices at the College
6.1 Occupational Health and Safety Guidelines
The basic health and safety guidelines for desktop computers also apply to Netbook use:
Keep the upper arms relaxed at the side of the body
Bend the elbows around 90 degrees
Keep the wrists straight
Change position every 15-20 minutes and take a complete break to get up and move your body every 30-
60 minutes
If the Netbook is to be put into a bag or backpack, straps should be used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations
The Netbook should always be placed on a stable surface, not on a person’s lap or knee.
Adopt the right seat posture with back straight.
All electrical equipment used at the college must adhere to AS/NZS 3760:2010 (also referred to as test
and tag) as a result of this standard chargers that have not been tested are not allowed within the college
grounds. Furthermore chargers are not allowed inside classrooms as they pose a dangerous trip hazard.
6.2 Additional Peripherals
The College will NOT provide students with any additional peripherals. These must be purchased by
parents/guardians. Additional peripherals include USB sticks or SD cards.
![Page 8: e-Learning and Information & Communication Technologies Policy · 4 | Page e-Learning & ICT Policy Version 3.2 (Last updated Nov 2016) 4.2 Co-contribution Students will have access](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050400/5f7d8b31bcd4534a7a7fc0b3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
7 | Page e-Learning & ICT Policy
Version 3.2 (Last updated Nov 2016)
6.3 Data Management
Saving or back up of data is the responsibility of the student. To back up their work it is recommended that
students purchase a USB flash drive or SD card. School issued netbook are configured to not allow saving of files
directly to the device, any work saved directly to the device is done so at the users own risk any work saved
directly to the device will be wiped if a windows reinstall is required. If a school issued Netbook needs software
repair students will have access to re-imaging. The re-imaging process will wipe all data from the machine and set
it up to the original working state. Staff will not accept data loss as an excuse for not handing in work on time.
6.4 Printing
Students should minimise printing at all times by print-previewing, printing in PDF and submitting document
through the Learning Management System, editing on screen rather than on printouts and spell-checking before
printing. Students are expected to manage their own print credits by ensuring that their password is protected at
all time. Additional print credits may be purchased from the General Office.
School issued Netbook will have all relevant College printers installed, BYOD computer will print through a web
portal on the school network (http://papercut).
6.5 Virus Protection
School issued Netbooks are configured with anti-‐‐virus software, all other devices can download anti-‐‐virus
software through the EduSTAR portal. On the detection of a virus or the suspicion of a viral infection, the student
must inform the College Technicians immediately regardless of the type of device (BYOD or School issued).
Technicians are available in the ICT office between C1 and C2 during break times only.
6.6 Charging
While it is the expectation that all students bring their device fully charged each day, we acknowledge that in some
circumstances devices will be required to be charged at school. As such, the school has introduced charging
stations in every classroom throughout the school.
Students are required to have their device charger test and tagged prior to commencing charging of any device at
school.

7 Software & DET Programs (EduSTAR Portal) Licencing
7.1 BYOD Computers
Software made available to students via the EduSTAR catalogue (https://www.edustar.vic.edu.au) includes a mix
of free and DEECD licensed titles. To meet requirements for DEECD licensed titles the College must:
Record student owned devices (MAC Addresses) on the School Computer Census, and
Ensure licensed software titles are removed from student owned devices when the student exits the
school.
Once the College has a record of the Wireless MAC address, students will be provided with a username and
password to access the EduSTAR portal upon request.
7.2 School Issued Netbooks
The software and programs pre-loaded on the Student Allocated Netbook are subject to licence conditions and
copyright. They must not be distributed or deleted from the Student Netbook. No additional software may be
installed on the Netbooks, as it can pose a security risk. Installation of any additional software will breach the
College’s Acceptable Use Policy (see Section 8) and may result in suspension or removal from the Netbook
Program.
8 Acceptable Use Policies
Any Acceptable Use Policy is a written agreement that formally sets out the rules of use of software, networks,
printers and the Internet. All staff and students are accessing the DEECD system and are bound by DEECD rules of
use. The College’s Acceptable Use Policy is available for download from the college website. Upon entering this
program Parents/Guardians and Students agree to adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy.
8.1 Use of Hardware and Software
Computer operating systems and other software have been set up to maximise the usefulness of the Netbook
computers. Students are prohibited from:
Accessing any web pages images, computer files, newsgroups, chat groups, or other material accessible
with the Internet or the school network that would be considered offensive in the judgement of the
college.
Bringing or downloading unauthorised programs, including games, to the school or run them on school
computers. Online Internet games are banned.
Deleting, adding or altering any configuration files.
Breaking software copyright. Copyright is to be observed at all times. It is illegal to copy or distribute

Attempting to log into the network with any user name or password that is not their own, or change any
other person’s password.
Revealing their network password to anyone except the system administrator. Students are responsible
for everything done using their accounts and everything on their Netbooks. Since passwords must be kept
secret, no user may claim that another person entered their home directory and did anything to cause
school rules to be broken.
Using obscene, harassing or abusive language in communication via the Internet.
Using or possessing any program designed to reduce network security.
Entering any other person’s file directory or do anything whatsoever to any other person’s files.

described in this document.
8.4 Internet Usage
Internet access is expensive and has been provided to assist students’ education. Students must use it only with
permission, and not in any unauthorised way.
As the Internet is an unsupervised environment, the college has a responsibility to ensure that, as far as possible,
material obtained from the Internet is not offensive or inappropriate. To this end, filtering software has been
placed on the Internet links. In the end however, it is the responsibility of individual students to ensure their
behaviour does not contravene college rules and rules imposed by parents/guardians.
The college is aware that definitions of ‘offensive’ and ‘inappropriate’ will vary considerably between cultures and
individuals. The college is also aware that no security system is perfect and that there is always the possibility of
inappropriate material, intentionally and unintentionally being obtained and displayed.
It is the responsibility of the College to:
Ensure students are aware of safe use of the Netbook and accessing the Internet.
Take action to block any display of offensive or inappropriate material that has appeared on the Internet
links through local, Department and individual filters.
Students must not, while at the College, deliberately enter or remain in any site (or have stored files) that have any
of the following content:
Nudity, obscene language or discussion intended to provoke a sexual response
Violence
Information about committing any crime
Information about making or using weapons, booby traps, dangerous practical jokes or ‘revenge’
activities

overnight at the home of a friend.
4. The Netbooks are school property, hence the school Network Agreement applies at ALL times.
5. Students must return the Netbook prior to ceasing enrolment at the college.
D. Guidelines for Proper Care of Netbook
Parents/Guardians are responsible for any and all damages, including loss or theft, which may occur to the
Netbook during participation in this program. The Netbook computers are not owned by students but are on loan
from the College. This requires students to maintain the Netbooks in good condition and to return them to the
school when required.
In order to achieve this, students must follow some simple guidelines. Students must not:
Do anything likely to cause damage to any equipment, whether deliberately or carelessly
Vandalise equipment
Mark or deface any equipment (e.g.: writing on, engraving or attaching stickers)
Eat or drink near the Netbook
Attempt to repair equipment
Unplug cables or equipment
Remove any covers or panels
Disassemble any part of the Netbook
Disable the operation of the Netbook
As with any portable computer the most fragile component is the screen, great care must be taken when handling
any devices so as not to damage the screen this includes not lifting turning or carrying the netbook by the screen
at any time and making sure no pens, cables, books etc. are on the keyboard when the netbook is closed or being
closed.
In addition, students must immediately report any malfunction or damage to the Netbook to the college technician
as soon as possible. The College Technician is available in the ICT office at recess, lunchtime and after school.
The following are guidelines to help minimise any potential damage.
i. Security and Storage
When the Netbook is being used away from school, students should avoid leaving it unattended or where it is
visible to the public (e.g. in a vehicle). In these circumstances, the Netbooks can become a target for theft.
When the Netbook is at home please ensure that normal accepted domestic security practices are followed. This
would include locking the windows and doors in the home when the dwelling is unattended.
ii. Transport and Handling Procedures
Students will be required to purchase a protective sleeve or laptop bag and must carry the netbook in the
protective sleeve or laptop bag at all times when not in use.
When transporting the Netbook, students are to make sure that it is in the sleeve or laptop bag and in their school
bag if applicable, which must be securely closed. Students must carry their Netbook inside the sleeve and place
this inside their school bag when leaving the school. Students must never remove the Netbook from its sleeve and
place it directly into their school bag. Chargers should never be put into the same compartment as the netbook as

this will ultimately cause damage. Any Student Allocated Netbook that is found being transported without a sleeve
will be confiscated with return only upon provision of a Netbook sleeve. This sleeve must be purchased prior to
the Netbook being allocated to a student for extended loan. Netbooks or chargers are not to be left in lockers for
any reason for any extended period of time including overnight.
E. Report of Loss or Damage and Bond Deductions
Any loss or damage that occurs to the Netbook must be reported to the college as soon as practicable. If this
occurs within the college, during school hours, the students must report the incident to the College IT Technician
or e-Learning Co-ordinator as soon as possible.
Students are required to pay a $200.00 security bond prior to taking delivery of their Netbook. This will be fully
reimbursed upon return of the Netbook in good working order. All damage to the student allocated netbook will
incur a fee to parents. A schedule of charges is outlined in the section below. If the cost of repairs to the Netbook
exceeds the $200 security bond, Parents/Guardians may be liable for the excess cost. Loss of battery or charger
will incur a replacement cost by Parents/Guardians.
In circumstances where the student is careless with the device, all repair and replacement costs will be met by
Parents/Guardians. This includes students leaving the device unsecured/unsupervised and returning to find the
device damaged or missing.
In circumstances where deliberate damage or theft has occurred, it will be necessary to report the incident to the
Police and action may be taken against the perpetrators or their Parents/Guardians to recover costs for repair to,
or replacement of the Netbook.
If loss or damage or theft occurs outside school hours the Parent/Guardian must report the incident to the college
as soon as practicable. In cases of theft outside school hours, the student with their Parent/Guardian must also
report the incident to the Police. The police incident report number must also be communicated to the college.
F. Schedule of Charges for Damage
The following is a summary of the charges that will be met by Parents/Guardians when damages occur to the
allocated Netbook. These charges are for genuine replacement parts only and subject to change by suppliers.
